The year 2002 offered a clement and generous climate that was consistently warm, relatively dry and granted the ideal conditions for ripening. As the grapes arrived at the press, they were in excellent and robust health. The 2002 harvest for Krug was marked by great homogeneity and superb balance.

The House did not hesitate to create Krug 2002, naming it Ode to Nature to express the music of an extremely serene and generous year with perfect conditions for highly-expressive wines centred around fruit of all types with a beautiful structure, great intensity and elegance.

Krug 2002 is a blend of selected plots’ wines of the year, marked by its undeniably profound fruity character. It is a balanced dialogue between Pinot Noir (40%) and Chardonnay (39%) with Meunier (21%).

The elegance of Krug 2002 comes after 13 years in the cellars gaining in harmony and finesse.
